Design over decision - stop living in default mode

Don’t make reactive decisions to the life in front of you - design the way you make choices to carve out a life for yourself that you desire

Decisions are necessary and important - yet that are much more potent and powerful when they come from an intentional and aware place from within from which you start from first ….

Join me for a workshop Jan 3rd : Dharma by Design - a personal development workshop grounded in Traditional and transformative yoga philosophy

In person - at the studio 💕

$22-$55 sliding scale

There might be fresh Masala Chai made by me 🤞🤩

I’d love see you and serve you through this amazing work and self awareness practices 🩵 I hope you come (and may bring a friend)

Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanur-dharaḥ
Tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama

Where there is Krishna and Arjuna, there is victory.
(Bhagavad Gītā 18.78)

This verse teaches us about aligned action — the sacred partnership between divine guidance (Krsna as the charioteer) and human courage (Arjuna as the warrior on the battlefield)

Victory arises when divine wisdom (Krishna) and human action (Arjuna) move together.

This is not passive spirituality — it’s conscious, aligned living.

Ask yourself : Where in my life am I being called to align my actions with divine guidance

12/16/2025

What if success in life isn’t about trying harder — but aligning more with inner wisdom?

The Bhagavad Gītā ends with a profound truth:
🕉 Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo… tatra śrīr vijayo
Where there is Krishna and Arjuna, there is victory. (18.78)

This verse reveals the sacred partnership between divine guidance (Krishna) and human action (Arjuna). Victory arises when intuition leads and courage follows.

In this Monday Message, we explore:
✨ Why alignment creates success more than force
✨ How divine wisdom shows up as intuition
✨ The role of courageous action in spiritual life
✨ What aligned action looks like in work, leadership, and relationships
✨ How grace and clarity follow integrity

🎥 Watch now and learn how to move through life with wisdom, courage, and trust (link for full video in my bio - click on Monday Message)

A note of encouragement as we surrender during these last few weeks of the year of the snake !!!

Yogic Wisdom 🕉 for modern times
Sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
Abandon all varieties of duty and religion, Surrender to Me alone, and fear not

Bhagavad Gita (18.66)
This is the heart of Śaraṇam — sacred surrender, trust, and taking refuge in the divine support that is always available.

You don’t have to carry everything alone

The Gītā reminds us:
🕉 Sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
Give up all religions and Surrender to Me alone. Have No Fear

This is the heart of Śaraṇam — the sacred act of releasing control and trusting divine support.

In this week’s Monday Message, we explore:
✨ Why surrender is not giving up
✨ How letting go dissolves fear
✨ What divine support actually feels like
✨ How surrender realigns you to your true path
✨ Why softening creates more clarity than forcing

Surrender isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom.
It’s trust.
It’s liberation.

Yes that’s my laundry going in the background
Yes I am in my kitchen
Yes I am amped up
Yes - I had to make this video ….

It’s not okay - stop regurgitating things you heard without verifying and checking yourself

STOP teaching things that you yourself have not studied enough to know if the information is accurate or not

Stop faking the funk
Stop trying to be insightful
Stop trying to sound full of wisdom
Stop pretending you have credibility by spouting of things that are untrue or inaccurate

It’s not cute
It’s not okay
It’s not integrous
IT LACKS STANDARDS !!!

Whatever happened to having and holding high standards (healthy high standards) for the leaders within the yoga community !!!

It’s not a trend - stop doing trendy things - stop perpetuating the fake, superficial uneducated culture of regurgitation !!!

Just stop !!

Please send out as a PSA to any yoga teacher you know

🙏

They say there is a message in the mess, there is wisdom in the wound - and here is something I have gleaned from my mess and my wounds …

Sometimes we feel so lost, so small, so alone, even sometimes useless …. Like we don’t matter - but I truly want you to know - in your heart - that you matter

Even without the external evidence showing it to you, without the proof in front of you, without even knowing why…. BELIEVE IT MY FRIEND…. It’s true !

Always in love, love in all ways
Dharma Shakti
Saturday Sermon from

So much of our life experience bleeds together into one big obstacle course of moving from struggle to struggle - from challenge to challenge - from obstacle to obstacle

But what if we gave ourselves time to transition - from one experience to the next - from one adventure to the next - from one season to the next - from one chapter to the next …

Transition is what allows us to us to integrate - which then allows us to actually move forward without bringing all the baggage, all the stories, all the blame or shame from the last thing into the next thing of life

Transition allows for us to process before moving forward or moving on

Otherwise we are just moving and all our “stuff” is coming with us - unpacked - still in bags - as we hurry to the next thing - hoping it will be better - hoping that’s where we might find happiness or fulfillment

Without transition time, without a process for transition- we are rushing - and when we rush - we miss the magic in life - or even better said by one of my favorites “you can’t rush your healing”

Maybe you are transition from a relationship
From an old identity
From old beliefs
From an old job
From an old season and into the next season or chapter of your life

Ask yourself - what did I learn about myself from that (job, relationship, identity, season etc) - and who / how do I want to be as I step in to what’s next

This allows us to be more intentional with the new space or thing or phase we are entering - with the wisdom we gained, and the conscious intention to forge and create the person, the being, the energy we are becoming !!!
